In Canada, First Nations people are ten times more likely to die in police interactions than white Canadians. Black people are 6 times more likely. Canada is still a deeply racist colonial society to this day. #CanadaDay
Ford
Is
Overriding
OUR VOTES.
He is causing Democratic Backsluding.
He is Autocratic.
We need a massive general strike.
I can think of no other effective response.
Any public figure that still has any affiliation with Israel at this point deserves to be shamed and condemned. How are you openly supporting and profiting from an apartheid state like we haven’t witnessed them commit genocide for the last 2 and a half years? She’s disgusting.
FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f
Insane to think that all through the 90s we were told we absolutely had to let the Klan march in American cities to protect free speech and now they're withholding diplomas, firing people, imposing travel bans, qmd running weekslong smear campaigns for saying the word genocide.
So let me get this straight…
Doug Ford can take a 102-day summer break with full pay, taxpayer-funded pensions, benefits, travel budgets, and perks while classrooms are overcrowded, hospitals are understaffed, ERs are closing, and families are struggling to survive?
Teachers are being told there’s “not enough money” for smaller class sizes, educational assistants, special education supports, or properly funded public schools.
Healthcare workers are burning out. Parents can’t find family doctors. Students are falling through the cracks. But Queen’s Park gets a 3+ month vacation?
How is this acceptable?
And before anyone says politicians still “work behind the scenes,” most Ontarians don’t get 102 days off with six-figure salaries and guaranteed pensions while the systems WE pay for collapse around us.
Public education and healthcare are not luxuries. They are the backbone of a functioning society.
Maybe if politicians had to live in overcrowded classrooms, wait 14 hours in ERs, or watch children lose supports because there aren’t enough EAs, they’d stop treating public services like a budget line to cut while protecting their own comfort.
Ontario deserves better than a government that always seems to find money for itself while telling everyone else to lower their expectations.
